• About your tutor:

Having taught screenwriting at the postgraduate and undergraduate levels (including at the University of Warwick's lauded Writing Programme) Flavia has designed these robust & collaborative workshops to break down narrative devices like plot, character, dialogue, dramatisation, and filmmaking tools - in an inclusive and supportive setting.

Flavia is a creative producer and a practicing writer and director, having made her feature film Beautiful in the Morning (distributed by Herflix) and currently developing a slate of film & TV scripts which have gained support (most notably from the prestigious Athena Writers Lab). She earned a BFA from Tisch School of the Arts, and was mentored by auteurs Noah Baumbach & Cedric Klapisch, and Academy Award-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (on Alejandro Inarritu's Birdman).

• Session structure:

Every week, we delve into a different topic such as plot structure & the hero's journey, character development, point of view, mystery & suspense, comedy writing, etc. During each session we pay particular attention to screenplay format best practices, and dedicate time for in-session writing & feedback.

You can be a novice looking for bite-size ways into writing for film, a seasoned pro looking to revise script fundamentals, or a working writer needing a creative environment to pen a new draft.

If you come into a session with a particular writing challenge you wish to address, then we will cover it through the lens of this week's theme.
